Charges are pending against one of the drivers involved in the school bus crash that sent 14 children and two adults to the hospital Monday afternoon, according to police.

Here's what we know:

The crash

The crash occurred just before 2:30 p.m. on Winton Road.

Police say Robert Jett Jr., 23, was northbound on Winton Road near Dutch Colony Drive when he lost control of his 2011 Ford Crown Victoria after passing another car. His car struck the rear of a 2005 Neon driven by Jordan Ervin, causing the Neon to cross the center line into the southbound lane, according to investigators.

The Neon hit a southbound school bus, spinning it into a 2003 Ford Taurus driven by LeAndre Acoff, 31, which was also southbound on Winton, police said.

The injuries

The school bus was carrying students from Pleasant Hill Academy in College Hill. A 12-year-old who was riding the bus is in critical condition at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, police said.

Nine other children from the school bus were hospitalized, police said, and none of their injuries appear to be serious. Fire officials said they transported 14 children to the hospital. The school bus driver, Trina Turnbow, 40, was also hospitalized at University of Cincinnati Medical Center. She is listed in fair condition.

Ervin was trapped in the Neon and police said he had to be cut out by emergency personnel. He was taken to University of Cincinnati Medical Center where he is in serious condition.

A 2-year-old riding Ervin's car was ejected and is in serious, but stable condition and a 1-year-old who was also in the car is hospitalized in serious condition. The 2-year-old was in a booster seat and the 1-year-old was in a rear-facing car seat.

All of the drivers involved were wearing seatbelts, police said.

Investigators said excessive speed was a factor in the crash. Cincinnati police Lt. Steve Saunders said charges are pending against Jett. Police said impairment does not appear to be a factor in this crash.

Police are continuing the investigation and any witnesses to this crash are asked to contact the Cincinnati Police Department’s Traffic Unit at 513-352-2514.
